Courtesy not authority to guide people in London

Here is an interesting op-ed “A more inclusive fabric” by the New York Times editorialist Roger Cohen fromMarch 11, 2012.

It seems that courtesy and civility can guide people behavior not only in some companies (such as Freedom Incs.) but in this jungle called urban street. In preparation for the 2012 Olympics London proves it works. Let’s hope this will serve as another example that self-direction works better than “nannies”–as Roger Cohen puts it–who tell us what to do and punish when we don’t obey.
